                Sets the absolute file mode for created log files. This method is only useful for the rare
				Berkeley DB application that does not control its umask value. 
				</p>
      <p>
				Normally, if Berkeley DB applications set their umask appropriately, all processes in the
				application suite will have read permission on the log files created by any process in the
				application suite. However, if the Berkeley DB application is a library, a process using the
				library might set its umask to a value preventing other processes in the application suite from
				reading the log files it creates. In this rare case, use the set_lg_filemode parameter
				to set the mode of created log files to an absolute value.
